T1 mapping and magnetic resonance elastography: potential new techniques for quantification of parenchymal changes in hepatic amyloidosis.
We read with interest the pictorial essay by Özcan et al. (1) entitled “Imaging for abdominal involvement in amyloidosis” in the recent issue of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology. In this article, the authors provide both textual and visual portrayals of abdominal amyloidosis, which is difficult to diagnose because of nonspecific imaging findings and frequent subclinical presentation. Bot...
متن کاملLiver stiffness: a novel parameter for the diagnosis of liver disease
The noninvasive quantitation of liver stiffness (LS) by ultrasound based transient elastography using FibroScan® has revolutionized the diagnosis of liver diseases, namely liver cirrhosis. Alternative techniques such as acoustic radiation impulse frequency imaging or magnetic resonance elastography are currently under investigation. LS is an excellent surrogate marker of advanced fibrosis (F3) ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Gd-EOB-DPTA on the Stiffness Value of Magnetic Resonance Elastography in Evaluating Hepatic Fibrosis
Various injuries to the liver, including those caused by chronic liver diseases, can lead to hepatic fibrosis (HF) which is associated with an increased risk of hepatic dysfunction, portal hypertension, as well as the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (1). The degree of HF is an important factor for determining the morbidity and mortality rates in these INTRODUCTION �Received; Augus...
متن کاملPrimary hepatic amyloidosis presenting as nodular masses on the background of diffuse infiltration and extreme liver stiffness on MR elastography.
Amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition of extracellular protein material, amyloid, in various organs. The clinical and imaging features of the disease are often nonspecific and a tissue biopsy is often required. We present the case of a 64-year-old man with biopsy proven amyloidosis of the liver. The patient presented with non-specific clinical symptoms. Routine imaging showed hepatomeg...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Elastography for Liver Fibrosis in Methotrexate Treatment.
INTRODUCTION Hepatic magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) allows for noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of MRE in detecting and quantifying liver fibrosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have received methotrexate (MTX). METHODS The association between mean liver stiffness value as determined by MRE and variables ...
